why It Requires tho Most Excellent Gar
and Treatment,


II should be borno In mind that
changes have beon aud ARE still being
worked upon our domestic animals. by
which they are becoming more and
more, every day, artificial beasts. This
is found necessary 10 meet advancing
views in the matter Of utility and APP
pearance. The cattle beasts of Europe,
In the tenth century, would cut sorry

producer 1t is equally safe 10 say tho
same of the cattle grown during the
seventeenth century, and even far into
the eighteenth. What is true of cattle
is equally true Of swine and sheep,
We can not expect the rough-and-
tumble treatment practiced upon farm
animals by the serf peasantry OF three
or four hundred years ago to bring pay
ing, and in every way satisfactory re-
suits on the refined, and, so to speak,
highly artificial animals of our time.
Citing the case of the fattening animals,
it has only been through in-and-in
breeding, and hi making selections,
rigid adherence to an obese tendency,
which, in either man or beast. means
lessened stamina and increased suscep-
tbility to bad effects from inclemencies,
improper feeding and inroads from dis
ease, that the improved animals of to-
day have been obtained. Hence, he is
a very unwise man, indeed, who creates
a condition, with clearly defined OBJ
jects in view, and then shuts his eyes to
certain necessities that grow out Of
these conditions.
The Broncho horse or the Indian pony
do well on the toughest of fare, and I'M
der the severest exposure, but if they
are crossed with a heavy draft-horse
breed, accustomed to full feed and
rapid growth therefrom, subjecting the
issue to the conditions under which the
unimproved animal has done well, Il
will soon be found that the effort has
aborted, for the want of sustaining the
tendency to more size, by better caro-
and more feed. The same rule holds
good us between the scrub COW and a
specimen of the improved sort. In this
case size and flesh-making tendency are
introduced, where, before, u skinny
toughness held sway. The latter would
hold its own under conditions of neg
lect, there being little to hold,
and almost nothing to lose,
because, except when resting
from the duties of maternity, and high
ly fed, the average scrub COW is not
expected to carry any material about
with her except her working substance
muscles, bones, etc. The ancestry OF
this sort, like the ancestry of the
Broncho, has been so Injured to hard.
ship and scant feed, that little change
can be seen when these influences are
brought to bear. But when, as stated,
all this has been changed, increasing
the hesh-making tendencies, refining
the whole creature throughout, the neces.
sity of giving additional care, feed and
protection, has also been increased
and the full benefit of improvements
can be obtained in no other way. ..

AULTMAN, MILLER 81 Co., Of Akron, O., for
heir Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
IS the result Of the National field trial held
IL December last. The following, cut from
he Melbourne Argus Of December 49, 1886,
living particulars of the contest, will be OF
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th
inst, on Mr. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all di-
rectons being ripe, the attendance of farm
ers did not exceed 100, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings AS at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first, Nj Cormick second and the
Woods third; the buckeye" representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; so the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial The crop was ripe
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe, on horses, machines
and drivers. Two o'clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the Buckeye" was the
only machine then ready, a delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines pre-
liminary run in the adjoining block of crop,
and start was not made until a quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably Sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr., Harold
B. Turnkey About two acres were allotted
IN each machine and they finished in
the following order: Buckeye hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, hour 10 minutes ;
Mccormick, hour 26 minutes. The two
latter machines were drawn by three
HORSES each, while two lighter horses
worked the "Buckeye" binder with equal
ease. The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:

The Judges (Messrs. A. Kinkaid, b.

the first prize, with the maximum number
of points; Hornsby secorA, with 43, and

work performed was the best they had
ever seen, and their decision vas cheered

man Westcott who has lived next door eleven

junction to restrain the undertaken from con-

He alleges that his aversion for cofins and
funerals has always been pronounced. and as he
grows older it becomes intensified He shudders
when he sees such displays of the trappings of
death. and he believes the law should interfere
to protect him from them. The Vice-chancel-
refuses the injunction. In his conclusions he
states there is nothing about Middletons place
which does not pertain to the legitimate busi-
ness of an undertaken.
The court does not regard an undertaker's
place as nuisance per Sc, and holds that the
complainant has not proved it The dis

discomfort. and the court considers the COM

not find itself justified in ordering another
